Summer can be a little hectic once you become a parent. Your child has time off to do whatever they’d like.

As a Missoula family photographer, I’m constantly inspired by how this community leans into the wild, the messy, and the magical moments of childhood. That’s why I’m such a fan of Tinkergarten. This program brings kids and families outdoors to learn through play, exploration, and connection. It’s a breath of fresh air (literally) for anyone […]
